I hope the lesson learned from BYU fans is to be classy when players go

BYU isn't for everyone. If someone doesn't like it there, they SHOULD leave.

That's not always why someone leaves.

There are always bad eggs, but those voices can be drowned out or called out. Not good that a player had to call em out

Yep. Look at what happened with BYU fans' treatment of Dallin Leavitt. It caused him to hate which BYU, which led to his

LOL, Leavitt's hate for BYU didn't come from the fans. But nice try.

It did though. Sure he had a chip on his shoulder about it but BYU fans were ruthless to him on the internet. Even got

That is not the root of it. You are 100% wrong.

Dallin burned the village on his own on his way out.

I thought the root was when he stood on the bench and flipped off the fans

That happened? Yeah, that could definitely be an issue.

This was when he got an INT playing against BYU. It was his Super Bowl.

It seems clear to me that Dalin was wronged by nepotism. Nepotism has left victims all over the world. He was one and

You know he tried to come back right?

Venom

Yeah that's my point. Sure he was bitter about it all, but the dude didn't really hate BYU until later on and fans went

Seems like Dallin lit the place on fire on his way out the door.

Are you sure his hate of BYU didn't precede his transferring out?

StarMan

12/30/24 2:11pm

Sure it existed but again byu fans were relentless in mocking him afterwards and that really put gasoline on the fire.

RdF3

12/30/24 2:12pm

Yep. That's what happened.

BYU fans didn't do that. We loved Dallin and were sad to see him go

That’s a little over simplistic, but your point about treating a player good even if they don’t deserve it could have

Not saying there's never room for improvement, but I think BYU fans as a whole are a pretty good bunch.

Expect to our own coaches and players. We love to eat our own. (other fan bases eat their own too, but we should focus

What gets me is their announcements gushing about how great of an experience

Same thing many players from other Universities say. With that being said, it rings kind of hollow.
